Trump and first lady Melania simply issued a brief statement Saturday that offered warm greetings to Muslims celebrating Eid al-Fitr, which marks the close of Ramadan, Islams holy month of fasting.

At least he didn’t get two scoops of ice cream during the dinner and give the muzzies just one.

Agree. Mohammedism is a genocidal 7th Century death cult that is antithetical to the virtues of civil Western democracy. It should not be recognized or celebrated in any manner.
